Ryan Glass is a full member of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI) and holds the Mountain Instructor Award (MIA), Winter Mountain Leader Award (ML), Canadian Avalanche Association Operations Level One, Rescue and Emergency Care First Aid, Summer Mountain Leader Award and Single Pitch Award. He has been running his own company, Ryan Glass Mountaineering, since 2006. Ryan has also worked as a contracted instructor at several centres in the UK and abroad, including Plas y Brenin, Hebridean Pursuits, Outward Bound Scotland, Kilbowie Outdoor Education Centre, The Orange House, Ardroy Outdoor Education Centre, and World Challenge Expeditions.
He has been climbing all over the world for the past 13 years and has a breadth of experience in different climbing environments, having led F8a+ sport climbing, E5 trad climbing, WI6 ice climbing and A3 aid climbing and big walls. However, it is not all about the difficulty: he enjoys climbing quality rock in the sun and long classic mountain routes. He also likes arthouse films, dark chocolate, doing up his camper van, Billy Connelly, a good meal out, and a cold beer after a warm day. He’s not so keen on traffic jams, root beer, brussel sprouts and doing the dishes!
Ryan is always very happy to discuss your climbing needs prior to booking a course. This makes sure that you get the most out of your time and your money. You can e-mail Ryan at info@ryanglass-mountaineering.co.uk or call 01887 829686 or 07769 704823.
